Career

There is currently a shortage of qualified workers to support the Renewable Energies sector. Due to the rapid growth enjoyed by this relatively new sector, there has been an equally impressive growth in demand for skilled and certified technicians to install and service the associated equipment. The production of electrical energy produced by the Renewable Energies sector is projected to increase to account for 20 percent of North American electricity production and the creation of 6.3 million jobs in North America by 2030.

Graduates will be employed by owners of Renewable Energy projects such as Wind and Solar farms as well as third party contractors/manufacturers/providers and as installers and maintainers of said projects. Other opportunities may exist in sales and marketing, project site assessment, energy consulting and regulatory functions.
